Some people, when presented with a situation where it's plausibly justifiable to be mean, will choose meanness every single time. And it's sort of subtle, because they can make an argument that they're being reasonable in every individual case, but, in aggregate, they're poisonous, absolutely psychically corrosive to their whole environments. And the attitude is sort of contagious because it always looks strong, even as it weakens and hollows everything it touches — it gives you lots of opportunities to score points, you're always on the offensive, you keep everyone permanently on the back foot. And it makes everyone fucking miserable. You have to look at those situations and say, actually, it's also perfectly plausible and reasonable for you not to be an asshole about this, you're choosing this, and you always choose this.

It is fucking devastating that every time I post about antisemitism, non-Jews frequently assume that I'm Jewish, because why would anyone talk about antisemitism unless they're a Jew trying to deflect criticism from zio-nazi Israel, while Jews also assume that I'm Jewish, because practically every non-Jew has abandoned, betrayed, or attacked them in their hour of need.

Gonna go full white girl here for a moment

If I ask if a food is spicy at all, and you reply “No, not at all! You can barely feel it!” then that is a contradiction. It is spicy. It may not be very spicy, or even moderately spicy, but it’s still spicy. Please just tell me that straight-out.

I know there’s a good chance you’re mocking me in your head when I say that I cannot handle spices at all, and that even the mildest of sauces, that you insist are barely there, are going to hurt, because I’m mocking me too. I know I’ve got a child’s palate when it comes to spicy food. I know it’s almost laughable, how badly I react to even table pepper in more than the most minuscule of doses.

But if I ask “is this spicy,” and you answer “not at all,” and then proceed to tell me that it’s mild, then I will still consider it too spicy.

If I ask “is this spicy at all” and you say “no” while knowing that it is, just a tiny bit, because you can’t imagine anyone reacting, then please don’t be offended when I take one bite and then throw it out, because I asked for a reason.

It’s a dumb thing to talk about, but… yeah. Just do your cannot-handle-spices friends a favor and be honest when they ask. Mild is still a level of spice.

(This goes doubly for strangers, because if they have a digestive problem like, IDK, ulcers or something, then spicy food can irritate the stomach lining further and cause extreme pain. Some people claim that capsaicin can be used to treat ulcers, but you know… just play it safe, yeah?)

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

[eldritchinsight]

Reductress really taking no prisoners today

[eldritchinsight]

hope every trans man with a name like Kai or Alex gets to beat the shit out of anyone who uses their name just to shit on trans people, you deserve it honestly

EDIT: If you rb this while posting about Harry Potter I'll kill you, idc if you "don't support jkr" get away from me, you're embarrassing

“Israel rigged the Eurovision popular vote!” did you consider for one singular second that you’re in the minority? do you really think that your contempt for Yuval is normal?

she’s survived a mass shooting and she’s using her connection to art, performance and dance to process and grow past her trauma. that’s what most people at Eurovision see when they look at her. if you can’t see her past the blinding rage you have against her nationality, that’s a problem with you. you’re being weird, gross, and bigoted. and Europe doesn’t stand with you.

"this is DEFINITELY written by AI, I can tell because it uses the writing quirks that AI uses (because it was trained on real people who write with those quirks)"

Can someone tell me where these feminine trans guys with massive tits who wear push-up bras and skimpy outfits that I keep seeing transphobes complain about are? I’d love to see massive tboy boobs.

*grabs every came-out-in-under-6-months trans woman by the shoulders*

“EGG” IS NOT A SYNONYM FOR “CLOSETED” OR “PRE TRANSITION”!!! THESE ARE THREE DIFFERENT THINGS!!!!!!

[eldritchinsight]

I love when people are like “I can’t believe you reblogged that despite their user name, icon, bio, and last twenty posts” bc to me my dash is the only part of this website and I’m not slowing down to look at urls you could all be the same person

i swear to god that social cue wasnt there before

[eldritchinsight]

the thing is that regardless of what you are trying to signal politically by the statement “harris would not have disappeared people to an el salvadoran gulag”, there is like a 99.99% probability that it’s objectively true and the fact that people are screaming and having meltdowns about it says A LOT.

A character can still be a great character without being a good person.

In fact, some of the best characters are terrible people.

Because a character’s worth should be based on how complex and interesting they are, not their morality if they were real.
